Hey Veggies-my two cents-starting an exercise class would be a GIFT to others. The example you set is commitment. Regular exercise is the goal-not necessarily weight loss. That's a wonderful example to set. I hope you decide to do it....I am SHOCKED by the ratio-really sad. I think we have the opposite where I live in LA-anyone "overweight" i.e. a size 10 or 12 sticks out. Great job with maintaining the weight as you deal with the hormone issue. I hope you begin to see weight loss soon. 

I like that story veggies. :-) 

densible and info...thanks so much...it was suggested to me to start with the walk away the pounds program...i might just do that...hummmm 

That's a nice email. And Densible is right. Let us know if you decide to lead the class. It might be fun and get you to commit to exercise for your own benefit at least during those times. 

Very cute email...I Love it! 'All the Best' with the exercise class (I have a feeling you'll answer the call!) :-) and with your continued weight-loss success! 

That is awesome and so true. I love it. 

The exercise class is a great idea. Go for it!  

I love the story, too. Thanks for sharing :- )) 

I also enjoyed the story, the message in it. Thanks for sharing. 

have read that story before and found it so true, ( and im a hairdresser!lol!) anyway,just want to say good luck with sorting the hormones out, and remember it is possible to lose weight while on hrt.  

Wow, great story, I've passed it on to so many friends who are struggling right now. I agree with the others , if God is calling you to start this class, you and the others you teach would be missing out on a blessing if you don't. I'm pulling for U! 

that is a good example to teach that barber a lesson. I can't stand when someone questions me about my faith, I keep quite because a i know no answer would satisfy them. I am so glad you are thinking about doing this, some ppl just need quidance. I am also happy to hear your homones haven't affected w/ weight gain, you will figure weight loss out... sometimes prayer may be your answer.  

Thanks for sharing the great story! You can do anything you set your mind to and you won't know unless you try. :) Wish you the best! 

You know that I have total faith in your purpose and ability to spearhead anything positive like that. Go for it sister! 

Veggies, Densible was right on track writing that it is your commitment among 101 other things that is the example. You will be an excellent example to many, many people and in fact I know for a fact you already are. There are many people watching you and seeing how you react and cope to everything. May He shine through you.  

Also, not controlling your hormones and thinking you are a bad example is not on, it is a medical condition. It is how you deal with it not that you are going through it. I am sorry that you are having to deal with the hormone issue at all and how it is messing with your weight loss, but you will have so much experience to share with other people who need help and encouragement. You can do this! 

First - thanks for the e-mail. You crack me up! Second - see? The two observations in my return message to you -- about your not posting very often and about your posting stories or articles -- was right on the money -- huh! Third -- awesome anecdote! Fourth -- I'll have to think a bit about the exercise class gig before I offer up any useful advice!  

i did not get your reply...can you resend it... 

I love that story. Thank you for sharing it. And I agree with you: I believe God wants us to honor the bodies He gave us. Permitting ourselves to indulge in gluttony and become grossly obese is not something He desires for us. Also, the more fit we are, the more we can serve Him. When I pray and meditate, I ask to become useful to Him and the world. You've just given me another reason to keep working on the weight loss. We all want to be the best servants we can be.
